what do the books say?
there could be an infinite amount of speculations and ideas; im assuming the only real "history" for Ent-B and its life and crew written as yet are from novels?

That my friend, gets you your 100th cookie. :P

It's the fact that "if its not televised, its not canon" that restricts our views. For all we know, they're making the final mission of the Ent-B where it gets turned into a rubber duck. And I'm sure the majority of you wouldn't want that to happen.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

see, this is why the newest movie should have been around Ent-B, or even Ent-C, era...  there is so much untouched realm...
instead of some stupid alternate-reality-lets-use-and-"remake"-things-that-will-play-on-peoples-nostalgia-and-is-sure-to-sell crap...



have i mentioned that before?  lol :P

I think you may have except in more than one post. And it would be better. But if it involved people like say Janeway or Picard or even Captain Garrett, then we'd know they would have to live/live/die. So I suppose the Enterprise-B would be better for my creative freedom.

Just, don't let it involve anything with time. It's boring now, particularly when they try to explain-what-went-wrong-and-get-killed-and-then-the-timeline-sorts-itself-out-and-everyone is-alive-and-no-one-knows-what-happened-except-for-the-odd-discrepancy-like-seeing-yourself-in-an-old-picture-except-you're-not-clever-enough-according-to-the-script-and-not-be-able-to-figure-it-out. Thats just boring. I bet something like that will happen in the new film.

I'm pretty sure time travel will be in this since old spock is in it. Unless he's telling the story.

The reason they've done it in this era is so it can appeal to a new generation of people.

Things is, doing a movie/series in the Un-aired areas of the Trekverse, it could cause conflict with novels, and fans who read those novels would get upset. Or we could have movies/TV movies based off best selling novels. That could be cool.

To them I say "Tough genitalia!" Screen always becomes the new canon, and a "canon" version would rock.

My theory...



The Enterprise-B is the only Excelsior variant we see in all of Trek... until Paradise Lost, when we see the Lakota in action after an "extensive refit". Connection? I think, when the Ambassador was introduced, the Enterprise-B name was decomssioned in favour of the C, but was rechristened Lakota NCC 42---.

After all, the Enterprise-B would have been no more than 30 years old when the Ambassador-class was introduced. The original Enterprise served for 40 before being decomissioned, and the Enterprise-C was nearing 20 years old when it met fate at Narendra III.

Oddly enough many people have mentioned that theory.

Really? I'd never heard anything like that until I thought about when reading something on DITL... very odd.


Edit: Oh, yes, I see that someone here did...

sure would have made for a great new movie, INO, instead of the crap they are trying to sell now... 

EX-FRAKING-XACTLY!

I would have LOVED to see the universe from the era of the Enterprise B! Maybe not with harriman as the captain, though... Kill him off and bring in somebody else. :P teehee

I've been trying to put together a Paramount Pitch for a New Series, which does just that, Jist' of the Pilot Pitch....

"Following the Death of James T Kirk, Captain Harriman has resigned his commission and left starfleet, after 6 months in drydock the Enterprise B is placed under command of Alexander Erasmus, Its first Mission to Transport a Federation Scientist to a classified Research Station in the Lantaru Sector but not all is what it seems and the New Captain and Crew find them selves in a situation dealing with scenario which could spell the end of Space Faring Civilization, thought the Galaxy"


no no no, They are sent to track down rouge elements that evaded arrest from the Kitomer consipericy and are pulled by a random wormhole into the far side of the Beta Quadrant :D And must fight off Gorb, NozaK and Negoryh.

to prevent overload of the server, I believe.

oh, and the only thing I've ever read on the Ent B is that She was destroyed under classified circumstances.
Unfortunately, USS Prime is correct, unless a thing belongs to George Lucas, only that which appears onscreen is considered Cannon :P

Sulu's and Uhura's given names were not Cannon untill Ep 6 and ep 11 made them that way.  they're fannon up to the point they were used that way.

so long as the post is ontopic to the thread, then it is fine...
if it is a spam-type of post that is useless and pointless, then thats not cool...

yes they where fanon. Though i tend to think decomissioned. We never saw another Excelscior Variant of this type besides the B and the Lokota. Hood ect where all newer Excelscior class ships, so if they had made more of this type you would expect to see it but we never do. So she was most likly decommissioned and then pulled to one of those surplus Depots. Then Recomissioned USS Lokato after the Borg Threat because evident. I would imagine any salvagable starships where recomissioned and refited to fight the borg and later domionion. Heck we see Mirindia class's fighting the Dominion but in TNG it gives a pretty clear picture most of them where made cargo ships by the 2360's or transports. But by the 2370's there back as front line vessels. Who knows what all got recomissioned. Maybe in an unknown battle an Original Config Connie fought lol

Never heard of the USS Lokoto. Is that in the same fleet as the USS Lollypop?
